Teaching Tables - Making learning times tables fun - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      By playing with simple math addition and subtraction problems, this game could be used for lower grade levels. And "higher" and "lower" level bingo cards could be made to differentiate between math abilities. A helper or even another student could run the "higher" group.
  •  
    Times Table Bingo: Printable Bingo cards. Read off facts and have children mark their card with a bingo chip if they have the answer.

Math Interviews - 1 views

    • Brandon Appleton
       
      Simple activity that seems every student should be able to participate without a problem. Possibly minimize the number of questions a struggling student might have to get answered.
  •  
    Be careful with this activity, students may not get answers you are hoping for, but the idea is good in trying to get parents involved and showing students the importance in math. 
  •  
    You forgot to correlate this activity with a Common Core State Standard.
  •  
    I think I'm just gonna have to put another activity up, cannot really find a standard that fits this activity. It seems like a very useful activity, just doesn't directly tie into any of the standards.

Froggie Counting Game | Education.com - 1 views

    • Ashley Stewart
       
      K.CC.4 "Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality." This activity can be used with ELL students by having them simply count the spaces, rather than finding the matching number from the die. The gifted students can be given cards, rather than die, with simple math problems on them. The student would move their froggy to the number on the board that is the solution to their math problem. For example, if their card read "3 + 2", the child would move their froggy to the 5 space. This activity could be used with older grades by using the card concept, but using multiplication or division problems.
  •  
    Children roll a dice to advance their "froggy" to the next number. The first one to get the froggy in it's house at the end of the tray, wins!

      To extend this lesson, the graphs made by students could be used to introduce and explore simple probablities.
    • Krista Hirr
       
      Use the students' graphs to introduce and explore basic probablity. The more spins or more student data collected, the closer more statistically true the data should be.
  •  
    Students spin a spinner numerous times, record results, and create a bar graph to show the results.

Rock Record: What are Fossils? | Education.com - 1 views

    • Jessica Buell
       
      3.2.4 Identify fossils and describe how they provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of their environment at that time. 3rd grade
    • Jessica Buell
       
      Extensions: Be sure to go over vocabulary and different terms involving fossils, using illustrations to show the definition as well as the words. Extensions: There are a lot of ways you can extend this activity. For Kindergarten or 1st grade you can extend this activity by creating a center of a dinosaur dig and have the students make their own fossil as well as draw a picture of the fossil they "dug up" and writing a simple sentence about what they think their fossil is.
    • Jessica Buell
       
      Adaptions: You can adapt this lesson for ELL and special need students by having the students describe their fossil and you can create a timeline of the board and have the ELL and special needs students draw a picture of their fossil and place it on the timeline of when they think it lived.

Leaf Tokens | Science Craft Projects for Kids | FamilyFun - 1 views

    • Krista Hirr
       
      For a bonus project, have students ask their parents to help them learn about thier leaf. They can find out a few simple facts, draw a picture, write a sentence, and be the teacher for the rest of the class.
  •  
    Take a nature walk and have students pick one kind of leaf. Then follow these directions on how to make an imprint with clay. They can take home a "Leaf Token" as a keepsake at the end of the unit.

Friendly Physics: Make a Water Wheel | Education.com - 1 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students can design a water wheel in groups and see how the wheel works. To extend this experiment students could then work together to make improvements to their wheel. This activity could also be connected to social studies. Students could see how water wheels have evolved over the years and what their uses were and are.
  •  
    Students can build a water wheel and see the force of water in motion. They can also experiment with different forces and see how they affect the water wheel.

Growing Garden Pictograph | Education.com - 1 views

    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      K.3.3 "Describe and compare living plants in terms of growth, parts, shape, size, color and texture."
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      Giving each student a bean plant creates a sense of ownership and responsibility. The students will be able to watch the plant grow from a bean to a plant, watering and measuring it's growth each day. This would be a great activity for partnering- An ELL student could be paired with an English speaking student and they could work together as a team to take care of their plants and record plant growth.

The Einstein Project > Rocks and Minerals - 1 views

    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      3.2.1. "Examine the physical properties of rock samples and sort them into categories based on size using simple tools such as sieves." 3.2.2 "Observe the detailed characteristics of rocks and minerals. Identify rocks as being composed of different combinations of minerals."
    • Mary Jo Mack
       
      There are a ton of resources for extension activities with this unit on this site. This is a hands-on approach to rock and mineral exploration.
  •  
    Students explore the differences and similarities between rocks and minerals by investigating samples of these earth materials, performing a series of tests similar to geologists' field tests, and reading about rocks and minerals and how they are used.

Ancient Techniques of Determining Earth's Size and Shape - 1 views

    • William Templeton
       
      Students can get excited about using some simple measurement techniques to accomplish something big.  Working in heterogeneous ability groups would help students whose math ability is lower contribute without feeling inadequate.
  •  
    In this activity students use the relationship between the earth and sun and their movements through space to determine the size of the earth.
